To answer your question, most likely yes. Except I wouldn't be going to CI therapy now.
Like I said, I don't view CI as something to DEPEND on. If they couldn't function without a CI, there's something very wrong.
Even as an adult, I don't think you should get a CI if you think "it will help you get a job". That's still DEPENDING on it.
You'd be surprised how many deaf people my age here asked me if they got a CI, would it help them get a job?
Seriously, WTF is that?
It ALL comes back to the ridiculously high expectations of a CI.
